The Telstra Tower is a communications tower and retail and cultural facility atop Black Mountain in the Australian federal capital city of Canberra. Rising 195 metres above the mountain summit, it is a landmark in Canberra and offers panoramic views of the city and surrounding countryside.

Opened in 1980, it provides vital communication facilities for the city along with both inside and outside viewing galleries, a telecommunications museum, cafe, revolving restaurant and gift shop.

The tower was the subject of a High Court case in the 1973 decision of Kent v. Johnson, which was decided in favour of the Australian government.
